Birth, the sign of Life; it is a symbol of new life, a new creation. Saints if you want to see King Jesus, you must be born again. It is a must if you want to walk on this journey. Jesus said you must be born again. Every sincere Christian purifies his soul to rid it of the uncleanliness and defilement of sin, which pollutes the soul. Whoever is seeking salvation, must be purified thru the truth of the gospel, for we are clean by his words. The word of God says at our best we are but filthy rags. Jesus said "except a man be born again", We must have a new life; birth is the beginning of life, so the walk must start here. Just as physical life begins at birth, so must our spiritual life begin with the birth of our spiritual man.
The old foundation has faults and short comings, it can't support the glory or the treasure of this new building. We must have a new nature, with new principles, with new affections and new aims. We must be born another, a different person than the first; like the birth of Israel from Jacob and Paul from Saul. We will have different traits, different desires, doing different things. all Christians are born again, our first birth was after the first man Adam, corrupt, shaped in sin and iniquity, born to die, lost in need of a savior. So we must under go a second birth, a spiritual birth to take on the nature of our adoptive Father.
Now we once again are in the image and after the likeness of our Heavenly Father, having a new attitude, as we walk in a newness of life, with a new heart, a soft heart of love as the stony heart of sin and hatred is no more.We walk in the scriptures, walking by new rules, and towards new ends. We come from new principles, as we make new choices, chose new paths to walk in, and new leaders to walk after ,while having new companions to walk with. The new man, who is what he was not, and now does what he did not, a new creature in Christ. Crucified with Christ by faith, dying to the old man and his ways, we now live in a resurrected body, being raised with Christ to a newest of life, we are now children of the most high God.
